On a 60 series tyre perhaps, though a 40 - 45 series that's hefty. I have heard what you've said about running 40+ psi, though it doesn't translate into a great lap time or feel/feedback in the corners. It will make the car more predictable when it slides, it'll let go much earlier, spin much easier, overcook much sooner but protect the sidewalls.
No worries, it really depends on the tyre and the sizing but i found having mine at 44PSI on a 45 series road tyre made it feel a lot more stable.
I guess the best bet would be to have driver traing and ask the instructor.

You're on the KU31's aren't you? I found them best when ran at 40psi+ too. There you go, trial and error.
Vwthunder (sorry, I've gone to blank to your name), do you have a lap timer or gps based g-force meter. Most of the lap timer phone apps (Harry's or CMS) have gps based g-force, that'll at least support your perception. A gps based g-force is better than the internal phone accelerometer as it won't be influenced by bumps on the track and doesn't need to be perfectly vertical, etc.

Yes Its Troy lol
I do have a propper lap timer which displays g-force, but didn't really have much time to play around with it.
I had been sick a few days before the trackday, had to get the car ready (2days spent) in the cold and winton is 230km from Melbourne so a 4:30am start on the day, after a few hours i was stuffed. I got a good PB so called it a day and came home.
Have to get back there soon, and play around more with the setup
Are you still running the forge front strut brace? That thing is pretty flimsy, the UR one is on the heavy side but rigid.
Yeah i hate the forge one, i will get rid of it one day and run no brace. Its always getting in the way whenever i work on the car, playing with TIP, N75 etc
